How do i do this pls help me

Delvig [45]

Answer:

$y = \frac{1}{7} x + 7$

Step-by-step explanation:

x-7y = -49

i) move x to the right-hand side and change its sign

-7y = -49-x

ii) change the signs on both sides of the equation

7y = 49+x

iii) divide both sides of the equation by 7

$\frac{7y}{7} = \frac{49}{7} + \frac{x}{7}$

$y = 7 + \frac{1}{7} x$

iv) use the commutative property to reorder the terms

* commutative property: a+b = b+a

$y = \frac{1}{7} x + 7$
